You can get your own content published on this site as long as you have CommentLuv installed on your site.

Doing so means you get exposure to thousands and thousands of other CommentLuv users and your posts get sent out to the massive subscriber list.

Google loves this site and indexes it multiple times per day and posts always get lots of comments so you can be sure of some excellent exposure.

I’ve moved from my hostgator VPS over to some cloud hosting by iMarketing which is run on rackspace servers by a good friend of mine and I’m super pleased with the performance. So much so that I’ve decided to move ALL my money sites from the VPS.

Better Cache Performance

While I was in the process of changing things, I swapped over cache plugins which has made things simpler and more importantly, faster.

The new cache plugin that I’m using now is WP Super Cache which you can download for free.

This plugin is a lot simpler to use and set up than the previous W3 Total Cache which seems to cause an awful lot of support tickets from CommentLuv users. Now, in most cases it is a misconfiguration issue caused by users switching everything on to full and expecting it to fix an inherently messed up site.

There are too many options for the typical blogger to fiddle with.

That’s where WP Super Cache comes to the rescue, it’s designed more for the average blogger and from my tests, it has outperformed W3 Total Cache every single time (and I am NOT your average blogger!)

The Settings

If you install WP Super Cache and you have CommentLuv then try these settings for the best performance…

Go to settings/wp super cache to visit the settings and go straight to the advanced tab.

Click to expand (or read below)

Caching -> Use mod_rewrite to server cache files (if you’re a new

user, try Use PHP to serve cache files first)

Miscellaneous -> Compress pages
Don’t cache pages for known users
Don’t cache pages with GET parameters

Mod Rewrite Rules

if you get a yellow box here then you should click the button to update the mod_rewrite rules

Expiry Time & Garbage Collection

Cache timeout -> 3600

Rejected User Agents

add commentluv to the end of the list

CDN

I also use a CDN from Amazon using a CNAME on my DNS settings so that all image URLs get rewritten to use cdn.comluv.com

You can see a great article here on how to use an Amazon Cloudfront CDN with WP Super Cache

If you prefer, you can add a CNAME to your DNS and set the cloundfront URL as the destination like this

This will cause any requests for cdn.comluv.com to go to the cloudfront URL and if the image doesn’t exist on the nearest edge server, it will PULL it from my site and store it for any future requests. (so you can’t use my cloudfront URL for your sites!)

Enable

Once you’ve got everything set then it’s time to enable the cache.

Don’t forget to clear your cache!

Remember, cache plugins serve old copies of pages. That’s what makes your site faster, its quicker to show a html page than to cause the PHP engine to render it.

So, if you make any changes to your site like adding or removing plugins or changing any settings then always delete the cache so users see the new version of your pages!
